As a dude who wears sport sandals all summer (except at work, because we're living in a society here, people) I'm pretty sure they're not cool at all.

I got tap-ass from a restaurant once. Never went back there.

You got your butter chicken in my pasta!

I'll defer to your knowledge since you worked in the field…. I was always under the impression that the list was a fake.

@avclub-1786aec3a614d40f1e566fde557a1799:disqus we don't use the "I" word here.

Good to know, because I got to the part where you said "not brocolli-ish at all" and stopped reading the recipe.

I only vaguely remember this episode (I watched Frasier if I was home when it was on but it was never appointment TV for me), but the phrase "Let's all go to a taco show" made me stifle a giggle, both in the article and reading it again here.

All that song makes me think of now is the hoax "no play lists" of songs that radio stations allegedly weren't allowed to play after 9/11… this song being on that list is simultaneously hilarious and horrible.

Huh… I didn't know that either. I was in Toronto where apparently we only had it in '86 and '87. I swear it was on a lot longer (and earlier) than that.

I just realized the other day that I can do a really good Anthony Kiedis impression by singing Cher's "Believe" in an attempted Danzig voice (don't ask why I was singing "Believe" in a Danzig voice).

CityTV in the '80s was the greatest TV channel in the world.

Yep.. used to watch it every Sunday morning.
CBC also had "Video Hits" and  CityTV had "Toronto Rocks" every afternoon.

As was recently discussed around here, we Canadians start off in Beaver Scouts (which was super-fun and basically just amounted to playing floor hockey with your friends in some church basement – and then once a year you sell apples outside the liquor store).

Yeah, as kids' programming goes it's reasonably inoffensive, occasionally kind of clever and the conflicts seem pretty relatable.
My daughter's only two so she's really got no interest in it but if it's on at the same time as Dora or some shit I'll try to quietly switch the channel over to something that doesn't make…

The Lisa Bonet version?

Hey! What a wonderful kind of day!

Baby, we know about the food smells. That's why we grow 'em.

Same here… I have a six year old flip phone that costs me about $100 prepaid to operate yearly.

This is the same site that regularly dedicates space to reviewing potato chips… I don't think we can pretend that taking a critical look at ads is below them (or us, as readers).

I'm probably a bad example because I'm old and not much of a phone user (only make a couple of calls/texts per week on my old timey flip phone) but I've been wearing a watch every day since I was 8 or 9 (it was a knock-off Transformers watch – the watch part detached from the strap and turned into a robut!).
